Newsletter 2011

The Studio West End ‘July’ newsletter is a little late this year so we have decided to combine July and December and send one only for 2011. January turned out to be a washout……….literally, with the floods in Brisbane and throughout the nation causing untold damage and misery to so many (on a positive note, however, the aquifers, rivers and lakes have all filled and the drought seems to be over for now). We were lucky. The water came to the front gate of 35 Mollison St but no further. Adele’s house was spared apart from one room. She was isolated for four days...

Wim was able to walk around South Brisbane and West End, He helped with cleaning up at friends’ houses and at the Art Shed, (a very large art supplies warehouse that sustained serious loss with a metre and a half of water inside). I was marooned, our street in Kenmore was flooded in both directions. It was very strange to be at the centre of all the drama with constant helicopters overhead and the threat of inundation yet not to be able to see what was going on. We had no power for...

Self Portrait Exhibition – Photos...

Self Portrait artist statements Anna Silvester Self Portrait: Paint on my brush It seems that the desire to express observations artistically has always been present with me. As a child and teenager, I spent a lot of my time painting and drawing. It’s not that the business of adulthood and parenthood doesn’t provide avenues for creative expression. I had photography, sewing for the kids even woodwork and cabinetmaking. Parenting itself, I...
